Chapter 446 Red River Disaster

As an imperial prince, Costat has a wide range of knowledge, but he is a little confused now.

Who is the master of this dimensional world? Who is the forbidden creature in the deep dimensional world?

Now you tell me that you don’t even know how the other party came here.

Costat was in a bad mood. Many of the scientific researchers in this laboratory were transferred from the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Taros, who was suspected to be the Azure Dragon, didn't kill anyone, but ended up killing half of Chlonoa directly, causing heavy losses.

The more crucial point is that Taros can come and go freely, so their interstellar fortress cannot stay here.

Otherwise, who knows, one day the other party will come back and see through their underwear.

But this is a deep dimension, and its structure is completely different from the shallow dimension. What is adjacent and connected is no longer a honeycomb-like dimensional world, but a void dimension.

There are many strange void creatures wandering around. If you are not careful, you may even fall into the eternal abyss.

While Costat was still pondering, Klonoa said bluntly, "You must find Talos as soon as possible and destroy it, otherwise I will never help you enter the inner ring of the Red River Star Stream."

Costat could sense the uneasiness and even fear in the other person's tone, and his thoughts raced like lightning.

If Talos showed this kind of strength, even they wouldn't be able to defeat him, let alone kill him.

"Can you tell me what level of strength Taros is at?" Costat asked tentatively.

In the past, Chronoa had never mentioned this question, and was even reluctant to reveal more details, but this time, after a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke: "He should have just become an X-level life form."

"Just became an X-class life form?" Costat was slightly stunned. "But his performance just now..."

"That's a special case..." Klonoa's shadow glanced at him suspiciously, "In the main universe, his strength level is not strong, but it is still within the scope of your handling..."

Kostarte heaved a sigh of relief. It was probably only in this dimensional world that Talos could show the special performance he had just shown.

This matter is not difficult to guess, but Chlonoa is unwilling to explain it too clearly. It is obvious that he is afraid that they will cooperate with Talos and then seize control of the dimensional world.

After confirming that Talos was not as powerful as he had imagined, Costat's emotions finally calmed down a little.

He thought to himself that this matter should be reported to the Holy Emperor as soon as possible.

At this moment, Chronoa suddenly shouted again, and the condensed shadow collapsed. "How could this happen?"

The tone was full of doubt and uncertainty, and Costat suddenly woke up. His heart tightened, and he didn't know what had happened.

However, after leaving the interstellar fortress, no clues were found.

………

“It’s still possible…”

In the room, Li Ming stretched out his hand, and strands of golden energy particles gathered and condensed into various forms in his hand, and then dispersed.

He did whatever he wanted, as if he had discovered a new toy.

"Extract the power of the dimensional world for my own use..." Li Ming pondered, and golden energy gradually covered his entire body, forming a substantial armor.

With a thought, the tank guard attached itself, and golden energy also swirled around.

As he stretched out his hand, infinite heavy hammers appeared, surrounded by golden particles, even filling the cracks.

"The intensity of this energy is not low..." Li Ming estimated that the Realm of Eternity should be one of the strongest in the known dimensional worlds.

This energy intensity alone can give him X-level combat power.

[Heart of Talos] seemed to have constructed an invisible energy pathway that could be drawn upon at any time. Chronoa probably couldn't even figure out the direction of the energy flow, as if it had vanished into thin air.

"This energy characteristic..." Li Ming walked into his own small laboratory, placed this energy under the energy spectrum, observed it carefully, and used a variety of detection facilities.

"It can indeed be used as an energy source..." His eyes flickered.

There are many types of energy in the interstellar space, and not all of them can be used as energy. The most important characteristic is that they must be stable and balanced enough.

If you get a little bit of stimulation, you become overactive. That's not energy, that's a bomb.

"I can almost say I'm carrying a large battery with me at all times. I'll be able to profit from it later. The energy supply from that doomed star is almost running out," Li Ming muttered. "For now, it's an additional means of attack, and it's quite powerful."

However, the energy absorption efficiency is limited, and it can only be used when the [Transplant] ability is activated.

If it is upgraded again, it should be able to reach the same level as being in a dimensional world, with almost inexhaustible energy.

"As for the Eternal Realm..." Li Ming's eyes flashed. After the upgrade of [Heart of Talos], it can now descend anytime and anywhere.

But it is not that easy to obtain complete ownership.

"According to the Holy Castle Overseer, World Blood can only be extracted from dimensional creatures of this level. If I find a way, he won't be able to resist."

Seizing control is secondary. Once the Heart of Talos is upgraded again, control will naturally fall into his hands.

But the blood of the world is the material he urgently needs. With such a lamb to be slaughtered, he sharpens his knife.

He lowered his head and pondered, "There probably aren't many people with this kind of technology. I guess we can only find a solution from the three major civilizations."

Just when he set his sights on the three major civilizations, Costat had already reported the news to Adam.

"...This is quite an unexpected event..." Adam frowned slightly at the screen in front of him. "Chlonoa couldn't actually stop Talos from manipulating the dimensional world. Logically, this shouldn't happen."

"Not only can he not stop it, he has no idea what's happening." Costat added, "I feel like he's terrified. I don't know what methods Talos used."

"If Talos is truly the Azure Dragon, he may be hiding more secrets than we can imagine."

At this point, Costat couldn't help but glance at Adam hesitantly, "Should we prepare a plan to deal with Azure Dragon? Klonoa won't let go until Talos is captured."

There was a hidden warning in his words, he always felt that Adam was raising a tiger to harm himself and almost ignored the threat of Qinglong.

"No..." Adam shook his head indifferently, "It's not time yet. As for Chlonoa, tell him that if he doesn't continue to help us, we will cooperate with Talos."

"Help us find the Star of Eternal Silence. He is our eternal friend."

Threat... Costat was not surprised, because Klonoa showed his fearful side in front of them. If they didn't take advantage of this weakness, they would not be called an empire.

After the call ended, Adam's brows relaxed, his eyes twinkling. "Taros, Qinglong... has finally managed to become a formidable foe of the Empire. I wonder how many more surprises you can bring me."

"However, we do need to be on guard..."

In the silent and empty room, no one knew what the apparent leader of the empire was thinking.

………

"Buzz—"

A dull and strong sound was heard, and a ball of dazzling purple light suddenly exploded, instantly illuminating the surrounding space like daylight.

Powerful energy waves overflowed, and electric arcs twisted and wove through it like crazy pythons, forming a terrifying arc storm.

A ten-meter-tall khaki metal mechanical body slowly emerged, its metal shell flashing with a cold light, its lines hard and sharp, holding a huge metal shield, like a wall.

"Not bad, another A-level mechanical body." Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, but then felt a little regretful.

This time, a thousand B-class mechanical bodies were mixed in, but no S-class mechanical bodies evolved.

A total of three A-level mechanical bodies evolved this time, two of which evolved from B-level mechanical bodies.

However, the cost of Class B mechanical bodies was too high. Since he was "kidnapped", he had only managed to accumulate a thousand of them over the period of time.

After leaving the house, Ulrich gave his daily report, "Trevor's dividend has arrived. 50 billion has been used to purchase all the relevant metal materials. They are on the way."

"However, due to the recent turmoil in the Machinists' Association, his business has been more or less hindered."

"We already own one-third of the Chaos Galaxy's arms market. We estimate that in two years, we should be able to completely take it over."

There is no orderly civilization on this side of the chaotic star gap, but their business is still developing rapidly.

More than half a month has passed since the first routine meeting of higher life forms.

It even ushered in a small peak in growth. Ordinary life forms did not pay attention to it, but some evolved beings saw it clearly, and orders skyrocketed again.

"Well, remember to leave a piece of meat for those little mechanics at the end." Li Ming reminded.

"Don't worry." Ulrich nodded and followed Li Ming, chatting as they walked.

He had already assigned the task of deploying the mechanical body to his assistant.

Currently, the business of the Mechanical Royal Court is mainly the manufacture and sale of arms and weapons. Since Qinglong openly supported it, it has entered a honeymoon period with the Mechanics Association.

Ulrich started to dig deep. The Mechanical Court was both a manufacturer and a retailer. It cooperated with Anduin's company and opened branches in various transit nodes.

Initial results have been achieved, in which not only can various weapons be purchased.

There is also a mechanical body hiring business that is unique to the Mechanical Royal Court. You only need to pay a deposit and a reasonable hiring fee to get a reliable mechanical body companion.

【Never betray, solid and reliable, loyal till death! 】

This is the slogan of the Mechanical Royal Court, and they have offered a sky-high reward of up to 10 billion star coins, claiming that anyone who can crack and control the mechanical body of the Mechanical Royal Court will be given money.

The advertising value of this stunt is unparalleled.

It has already occupied a place in many low-level mercenary teams, especially for some lone wolves, it is simply perfect.

At the same time, a large amount of information and intelligence is continuously collected.

Another part of the business is the exploration of the dimensional world, which is a money-burning business, but Li Ming did not cancel it. He has always occupied a considerable share and even added a considerable number of manpower to continuously expand the known map.

The returns are not bad. A large number of resource-based dimensional worlds have been discovered. These are the foundation for the future and are currently under development.

There are even several S-level dimensional worlds, and he has accumulated another portion of the [Super Divine Power] in his hands.

All in all, the overall situation is stable and improving.

Only after walking all the way back to Li Ming's room did Ulrich reluctantly end his report.

It had been a month since he last saw Li Ming. In order to demonstrate his loyalty, this kind of face-to-face reporting was essential, but it always felt a little lacking through the screen.

"Once Trevor's metal material arrives, I estimate it will have about 1.2 to 1.3 billion metal energy. Even though it doesn't have World Blood, it's just enough to upgrade the Mechanical Guards."

Li Ming glanced at the control system. After the last upgrade of [Heart of Talos], only 200 million were left, but now it has jumped to 600 million.

He would take a portion of the Mechanical Royal Court's profits every month to purchase metal materials, and the cycle would continue.

At present, the Mechanical Royal Court can steadily provide him with 300 to 400 million metal energies every month without interfering with its own operations.

Of course, he also consumed some of it during this period. Not only did he make some small supplementary items, but he also upgraded several S-level control objects.

"It's so comfortable to lie down and count money..." Li Ming sighed in his heart as he scanned several smart terminals daily.

Suddenly, I discovered that there was new information in the Black Hole Network, from Blackbeard.

Ever since he drew the pioneers' attention to the Star of Eternal Silence, they have been making steady progress.

But the deep dimensional world is not so easy to go to. It was not until some time ago that the bridgehead was completely opened up and the exploration officially began.

Blackbeard would report to him individually every once in a while, acting like a confidant.

After the call was connected, Blackbeard's face appeared, looking quite tired and even with some scars.

"Your Excellency Qinglong." Blackbeard said.

"Yeah." Li Ming responded, then said: "Why, are you hurt?"

"We discovered some unexpected situations." Blackbeard scratched his face.

"Oh? Have you found any clues about the Star of Eternal Silence?" Li Ming asked knowingly.

"No, no..." Blackbeard said with a bit of embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "We just approached the Red River undercurrent and found that the situation here is a bit special."

Li Ming remained silent, while Blackbeard continued, "The Red River Star Stream runs through the main universe and the dimensional world. The part in the dimensional world is called the Red River Undercurrent, which is composed of the debris of the dimensional world."

"Under normal circumstances, it should always be in a stable state, but for some reason, the current velocity of spacetime is far exceeding normal. I just inquired again, and it seems that the Red River Star Stream has also experienced some special conditions, with many violent currents."

"I guess there will be another Red River disaster."

Li Ming remained silent. To be honest, he didn't know much about the Red River Star Stream.

But I know a thing or two about the so-called "Red River Disaster."

At present, the most widely recognized interstellar model of the Red River Stream is a spindle with a narrow center and wide ends. What they touched is considered one end of the spindle.

The other end is connected deeply to the Eternal Abyss, and all kinds of strange and bizarre things flow back and forth between this spindle.

This theory holds that many ruins of civilizations must have come from the Eternal Abyss, which is like a large garbage dump that stores a large amount of civilization debris in the universe.

But the cycle time of both is extremely long, perhaps measured in tens of thousands of years.
